Sec. 2.1033  Application for certification.

    (a) An application for certification shall be filed on FCC Form 731 
with all questions answered. Items that do not apply shall be so noted.
    (b) The application shall be accompanied by a technical report 
containing the following information:
    (1) The full name and mailing address of the manufacturer of the 
device and the applicant for certification.
    (2) FCC identifier.
    (3) A copy of the installation and operating instructions to be 
furnished the user. A draft copy of the instructions may be submitted if 
the actual document is not available. The actual document shall be 
furnished to the FCC when it becomes available.
    (4) A brief description of the circuit functions of the device along 
with a statement describing how the device operates. This statement 
should contain a description of the ground system and antenna, if any, 
used with the device.
    (5) A block diagram showing the frequency of all oscillators in the 
device. The signal path and frequency shall be indicated at each block. 
The tuning range(s) and intermediate frequency(ies) shall be indicated 
at each block. A schematic diagram also is required for intentional 
radiators.
    (6) A report of measurements of radiated and conducted emissions. 
This shall identify the test procedure used (e.g., indicate the FCC test 
procedure used or, if an alternate test procedure was used, a 
description of the test procedure and the reason it was necessary to use 
an alternate procedure), the date the measurements were made, the 
location where the measurements were made, and the device tested (model 
and serial number, if available). It shall also include a sample 
calculation showing how the obtained measurements were converted to the 
levels specified in the applicable rule sections.

    (7) A sufficient number of photographs to clearly show the exterior 
appearance, the construction, the component placement on the chassis, 
and the chassis assembly. The exterior views shall show the overall 
appearance, the antenna used with the device (if any), the controls 
available to the user, and the required identification label in 
sufficient detail so that the name and FCC identifier can be read. In 
lieu of a photograph of the label, a sample label (or facsimile thereof) 
may be submitted together with a sketch showing where this label will be 
placed on the equipment. Photographs shall be of size A4 (21 cm  x  29.7 
cm) or 8 x 10 inches (20.3 cm  x  25.4 cm). Smaller photographs may be 
submitted provided they are sharp and clear, show the necessary detail, 
and are mounted on A4 (21 cm  x  29.7 cm) or 8.5 x 11 inch (21.6 cm  x  
27.9 cm) paper. A sample label or facsimile together with the sketch 
showing the placement of this label shall be on the same size paper.
    (8) If the equipment for which certification is being sought must be 
tested with peripheral or accessory devices connected or installed, a 
brief description of those peripherals or accessories. The peripheral or 
accessory devices shall be unmodified, commercially available equipment.
    (9) For equipment subject to the provisions of part 15 of this 
chapter, the application shall indicate if the equipment is being 
authorized pursuant to the transition provisions in Sec. 15.37 of this 
chapter.
    (10) [Reserved]
    (11) Applications for the certification of direct sequence spread 
spectrum transmitters under part 15 shall be accompanied by an exhibit 
demonstrating compliance with the processing gain provisions of 
Sec. 15.247(e) of this chapter. Applications for the certification of 
frequency hopping transmitters under part 15 shall be accompanied by an 
exhibit describing compliance of the associated receiver or receivers 
with Sec. 15.247(a)(1) of this chapter.
    (12) Applications for the certification of scanning receivers shall 
include a statement describing the methods used to comply with the 
design requirements of Sec. 15.121(a) of this chapter or the marketing 
requirements of Sec. 15.121(b) of this chapter.
    (c) For a composite system that incorporates only devices subject to 
certification, verification and/or notification and that are contained 
in a single enclosure, a separate application, FCC Form 731, shall be 
submitted with the appropriate fee for each type of device within the 
enclosure. At the option of the applicant, a single FCC identifier may 
be requested for that system. Fees are based on the number of devices 
and types of authorizations.
